new poll. are you going to marry a passionate antistratfordian who nonetheless loves the works, or someone who doesn't like shakespeare at all but understands he was real

#OOF. #given the number of times i have willingly subjected myself to anonymous (2011) for the sake of JCB and rhys ifans looking extremely hot... #i would go for the former. i could handle that. #then it can be one of your fun little couples’ arguments that always leads to a good-natured hatefuck! #;text.

i swear to you guys i am not gonna become a bridgerton opinions haver in earnest anytime soon, it is just that that one particular shot of the guy clutching nicola’s waist drove me to temporary insanity over how badly i wish i lived in a historical romance novel

I'm trying to come out to you. Well, don't. Don't come out. Go back in. I don't wanna go back in.

#this is what i heard in my head whenever i saw bridgerton people saying eloise and penelope should have just gotten together. #pen can do better. #;derry girls.

For the last time: Mary Shelley and Lord Byron were friends. She didn't hate him. His death was a very painful loss to her. She didn't write Frankenstein because she was stuck in a house with him and he was an unbearable person. For God's sake, just read her journals and letters.

#;how fucking romantic. #;not all that is over is past. #;the long nineteenth century.

the reason i cannot fuck with the bridgerton fandom is because everyone who likes penelope is also a rabid polin shipper, and everyone who dislikes colin is also a penelope hater.

meanwhile i am over here adoring penelope and thinking that colin should have stayed on the continent and gotten himself killed there.

#i also feel like the only person in the world who thinks both marina and pen were fairly justified back in S1! #i think they both had good reasons for doing what they each did! #ugh. anyway. my opinions on S3 boil down to IDK NOT POLIN THO. this is the impossible dream of an anthony x edwina endgame all over again. #;swan has a word.

here’s a lightly ghoulish fact to go with today’s heavily ghoulish chapter: the murder of nancy was one of the scenes charlie d. performed on his farewell reading tour.

as recorded by his friend, william charles kent:

As for the Author's embodiment of Sikes-the burly ruffian with thews of iron and voice of Stentor-it was only necessary to hear that infuriated voice, and watch the appalling blows dealt by his imaginary bludgeon in the perpetration of the crime, to realise the force, the power, the passion, informing the creative mind of the Novelist at once in the original conception of the character, and then, so many years afterwards, in its equally astonishing representation. It was in the portrayal of Nancy, however, that the genius of the Author-Actor found the opportunity, beyond all others, for its most signal manifestation. Only that the catastrophe was in itself, by necessity so utterly revolting, there would have been something exquisitely pathetic in many parts of that affecting delineation. The character was revealed with perfect consistency throughout-from the scene of suppressed emotion upon the steps of London Bridge, when she is scared with the eltrich horror of her forebodings, down to her last gasping, shrieking apostrophes, to “Bill, dear Bill,” when she sinks, blinded by blood, under the murderous blows dealt upon her upturned face by her brutal paramour.

all of my co-workers (manager excepted) are being really niceys to me about me leaving :)

the universal chorus of “good for you!” and “wish that was me” is really enforcing that i am making the right choice

Limiting the choice to the shows and movies I have seen/know of. I'm not asking who the first actor you have seem playing Arthur was, rather the one you instinctively think about when someone mentions him or the one closest to your heart.
